The longer the race, the better the odds

6:06 PM, September 28, 2008

It was a day of being very right or very wrong at Santa Anita, with some big bombs landing all day. 

The results did ensure a nice carryover for the Pick 6.  The computer eeked out three nice wins for $14, $7.80 and $5.20. 

The computer is doing much better at longer races so far, hitting on 47% winners when going a mile or more.

Hey Liam, try leaving the computer behind one day and really check out what is going on at the track. Stroll through the paddock area, watch the horses get saddled and in the walking ring, talk to the people. You might find out that this is more fun than hours of pushing computer keys just to have your horse run up the track.
